"After 10 years of owning a business, I've learned that my instincts and 'gut' are often correct. But having the data to either back them up or shut them up is invaluable. There's no time spent worrying about what might be happening - you already know. No one loves the idea of filling out a timesheet, but if your systems are set up thoroughly and accurately using a provider such as Abtrac, they can be extremely simple and take only a minute or two each day. And the rewards are enormous, as most surveying firms are perfectly structured to measure their inputs and outputs extremely accurately when compared to many other professions."
